Love waking up and checking your phone for news? or what someone tweeted, or posted, or uploaded? Well imagine having to pay to check all of that. The Federal Communications Commission voted on Thursday to end net neutrality, the regulation that ensured internet websites and services were treated equally by internet service providers.  In simple terms this means your internet provider can make you pay a bill to get on certain apps and if you refuse to pay, say goodbye to your account. No more Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, nothing.

As expected, people are going crazy and several states are suing the FCC, but in our stand, we don’t have a choice. In 2015, a law was passed that stated we could use the internet safely, freely, and whenever if we have the access, and now since they are going back on their word and completely ignoring the fact that’s a law, it is wrong. Protests have erupted online and in the streets amid worries that that cable and phone companies will be able to control what consumers see and do online.

To make sure we keep our freedom of internet, we together may have to plan out a certain way to prove  the FCC can not mess with us on that.

Netflix tweeted:
We’re disappointed in the decision to gut #NetNeutrality protections that ushered in an unprecedented era of innovation, creativity & civic engagement. This is the beginning of a longer legal battle. Netflix stands w/ innovators, large & small, to oppose this misguided FCC order.
